It certainly isn't too much to ask, in fact I would suggest it's a very conservative target, although given the form of the Wakefield public it's understandable.

I think mc is doing a great job with the finances, I want to help out by buying a season ticket in September but I want my club to be all inclusive and keep hold of loyal fans. We need everybody on board to make this club work and make belle vue a great place to come to , surely the club need to work with people not against them ? We need to attract new fans to the game and wtw by promoting a great game and a good experience at the ground, it can't be that hard can it? #comeinpeace

You can get a Senior Railcard at 60.
Concessions for the 4 Nations matches in Australia and NZ apply for 60+
I'm sure there are many other examples of concessions being available at 60 years of age but that's not the point really. Last year a concessionary standing season ticket for, say, a 62 yr old cost £120 (a very generous deal but hardly a freebie!). This year the same ticket will cost £205. That's a 71% increase. Now, I still think that £205 is very reasonable but it's a hell of a price hike and I think it could have been introduced more gradually if it needed to be introduced at all.

Should be easily achievable and exceeded to be honest and help the club grow and succeed and fulfil its potential.

Kind of proved my point. Please don't call me when I don't renew.

Yet you continue to ignore the issue with Al. And you are happy to lose money over this. You can say it has been dealt with all you want, but if dealing with it is blaming the individual fan for "breaking rules" you seem to change every week, then your obviously getting it wrong. Anyway you won't reply so what's the point!

Let's not do this on here RealSteel.
You sound like you know him better than I do but I can't imagine Al would want a public campaign about this.
It would be great if it were resolved, and MC could help I'm sure but I'm thinking this is better for a provate conversation.

Once again you are like journalists twisting things I did not know Al had meetings with the club. I have had one incident with the stewards where every game at the northstand they opended the gates so people could have a fag (I dont smoke) fans were asking why as every other game they have let them smoke at the gates the two stewards were replying "we dont no why its what we have been told". This is extremely unprofessional and lacks repeat business skills. Have a valid reason and explain properly to the paying customers. Mick has done a fantastic job with the clubs finances and hopefully next year our commercial advertising side will be better as we will have more finances available.

Come on everyone.
Look where we were and where we are are now.
I am one to miss out on the concession as I am 63.
Don't care. More money for club to enable progression.
I too have had no issues with stewards.
I have drink on way and in ground, but never aggressive.
The thing is a steward will not be able to distinguish between loud/aggressive supporter of 30/40/50 years standing and a 'newby' loudmouth.
Then again why should they?
Must say it would be something cataclysmic to stop me attending.
You certainly cannot have different rules for different people.
If its no opened drinks into ground for example, I take no opened drinks in.

MC is chairman of the club, do any of you honestly think he is going to give a personal apology to any fan, not just Al

By doing so he would just open the floodgates for any fan with the slightest grievance to bombared him with emails and tweets asking for an apology.

Its just not going to happen

And no, im not picking sides.

I attempted to contact MC in private, and on social media including the club's Facebook. However it has fallen on death ears/been completely ignored in some cases. I'm running out of places to get my point across. The club should have apologised at the time and by not doing that they have forced me to express my opinion in this way. I would do anything to be able to go back to watching wakey every week with my Mum Dad Brother Auntie and Uncle but it would feel like siding with the club over my own Family. What would any of you guys do if it was you?

Maybe the stewarding issue is cheaper than getting whacked with a massive fine for crowd trouble from the RFL?

its your choice but if your done with the club and not coming back why keep posting on here if your walking away walk away no matter how many people feel sorry for u on here it ain't going to make a difference is it

Yes actually if it's required (not sure if it is on this one because I don't know the full story).

Far more important people i more important fields than MC have had to say sorry to the public and individuals in the past, what makes him so special?

One your argument is foolish, two they have fallen out with those currently running the club not the club itself, three this is a free forum - MC is airing his opinions so why not anyone else

Not that easy to walk away though. Not when it's something we have done as a family for 20 years. So I'm continuing to bang the drum about this until I feel there's no chance of anything been done.

one how is it foolish and 2 they have said there never coming back to watch the team play so they are walking away from the CLUB not just mc

Deary me. That is the sort of aggressive response I'd post, difference is I'm a relative nobody and you're a CEO of a struggling club who's only friends are it's fans.

If you just read that reply back to yourself as a customer does it sound great?

I know we are an awkward bunch and it must be hard to deal with some of us, myself included - we can be real wallies at times. I can't tell you how to conduct yourself, hell it's a free country but for what it's worth I think you need to be a touch more gentle with your responses - we are a sensitive lot or try using emoticons as maybe we are missing something.



I have to say though I'm surprised you've managed to annoy BigAl and Slugger - easily two of the more chilled forum members - not sure how you managed that.



Please take this as good humoured and well meaning.

"I'm resigned to the fact I won't be watching Wakefield until Al does as I will back my family over the club. If that means waiting for MC to leave that's what will happen"

Think he did

From my point of view its not like the rules were there for one person. They were there for all. Rules have been implanted to improve us, albeit I am nor a fan but it has been done. Deal with it. I don't know Al but he sounds like a nice guy and sounds like he has been through hell and back following the club and hope he returns soon.

That is entirely your prerogative. I wouldn't try to coerce you into anything.

With respect, I have called on many doorsteps in person over the last year apologising to different people on behalf of the club. I have never had a problem with doing so either.

There is no element of my post that is intended as aggressive. And I don't have an aggressive bone in my body as anyone who truly knows me could tell you.

second that,
I can understand the frustrations with the banner too both ways,

lets put it more simpler do we want a super league club in Wakefield that is competitive or not

he still said hes walking away from the club dint he? I go to watch the team and support the club not to be mates with mc
